Simply Amazing

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The location was just perfect and it gave us the experience to be in the heart of Tuscany and in the same time a few minutes from Florence center.The apartment was clean and just perfect for us.

The view from the pool aerea is really breath taking.

Sabine gave us a walking tour of Florence and with her knowledge and kindness we could not have spent better our time.

Perfect holiday

Perfect vacation very clean and big apartment. We really enjoyed the pool and the unique and amazing view over Florence. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Thank you so much to Claudio and Sabine for all the help and the wonderful tour you gave us in Florence.

Beautiful garden, poor apartment

Attracted by the nice website (beautiful pictures, 3 bedrooms, 120 m2) and enthusiastic reviews, we decided to rent the apartment Oleandro for a week with 6 people.

The garden and swimming pool did meet our expectations, we found the apartment and the overall location however disappointing:

the apartment was not very clean and full with mosquitos, maintenance is poor (the warm water supply did not work, shower and taps are worn out, coffeemaker had to be replaced etc.), the Jacuzzi could not be heated to more than 25 Celcius (which felt cold), the owner Claudio was absent, his brother in law who replaced him did not appear to know the area very well.

We found the bedrooms small, and the beds poor. We considered the one with two single beds (both the size of the room and the quality of the beds) as very poor.

The view from the garden is beautiful, but mainly on Scandizzi, which is an uninteresting suburb of Florence.

For shopping and restaurants we had to go to Scandizzi, some 5 - 10 km from the house on narrow, winding roads. Our holiday car did not have navigation and we frequently got lost in the complicated road network (with several closures for maintenance).

Owner's Response: Dear Hans.
Thank you for your review it is always important for me to know if there are some problems in the place that I rent.
First of all, I'm very sorry that during your stay I wasn't at home.
During your stay we have had a problem with the hot water which has been urgently taken in consideration ,as the day after your notice, a plumber was in the apartment to resolve the problem . and now the problem doesn't exist anymore.
The company that cleans the apartment has been changed after your comment, as well as the mattress in the small bedroom.The new coffee machines as you know was replaced during your stay.
Concerning the location we are in the chianti hills and I can understand that is not easy to use the car around our Hills but this is also the nice part to stay a little away from the crowds of tourism in the town.. There are three restaurants within walking distance which are mentioned in the file I'm always attached to my emails. After your mail I will put a notice inside the apartments to display where they are and the opening hours.
To excuse that your stay has not be totally as you aspected in case you would like to visit us again I'm happy to offer you some free days or if you prefer two bottle of olive oil produce in my land on the hill down to the pool.
My best regards
Claudio
